Field Yates has Patriots taking a Ja'Lynn Polk risk early in new mock draft
"Denzel Boston has all the intangibles that they need in their next wide receiver, and he would easily complement the receiving corps they've put together for the 2026 season."
"Drafting another receiver from the University of Washington could be a bad idea, especially considering the Patriots' past experience with Ja'Lynn Polk, who did not perform as expected."
"Boston logged 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025, which is impressive, but the risk involved in selecting another Washington receiver cannot be overlooked."
The Patriots are increasingly seen as likely to draft a wide receiver early in the upcoming NFL Draft, with Denzel Boston from the University of Washington being a potential pick at No. 31. Boston possesses the necessary intangibles to enhance the team's receiving corps for the 2026 season. However, the Patriots' previous selection of Ja'Lynn Polk from Washington, who underperformed and was traded, raises caution about drafting another receiver from the same school. While Boston's college stats are impressive, the risk remains significant.
